Rachal's primary focus has been treating Chronic Pain and Autoimmune Conditions, Fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and Women’s Health Issues. All of which have not been well understood within the conventional Western medical paradigm alone and many are often left with debilitating symptoms and no support.
